I don't know what the cost would be, but cost is probably why most people build them post and pier. That's a huge money saver if the pad would need leveling before hand. Depending on where you plan to build, there might be hard lava just beneath the topsoil. Meaning you would need a big heavy duty bulldozer to do that.

Due to changes in building code slab is usually cheaper than P&P now.
